Improvement in hand-stamps



@anni Gtffitc,

To all whom it may concern y i" Be it known that-I, EDWARD S. GODMAN, of4New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of celing-Stamp and Ido hereby declare that the following` is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which the'same, reference being hadto theaccompanying drawing'fmniug part ot' this specification.` 'i Myinvention relates to stamp-caucelers, and my f purpose is toimprovernpon those heretofore known to the public.

I will lirst'describe my invention in connection with `all that isnecessary to a full 4understanding thereof', and then clearly point itout in the claim. y

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the die and dieholder; and 1 v11`igfure3 is a-face view of' the saine.

A is the die for holding the type; it is provided with a recess, B,arranged in a-straght line along the cenq 'uired to change from fallingout while changing thel others. l E The arrangement of the recess forthe type in the4 inanner described, affords space along the recess inthe face of the die on each side, for sinking the name and address ofthe inventor', maker, or other person, as shown atl., so.. that theAprint thereof will be `iin` the'c'anceling is done.

Letters Patent No.' 110,031', dated December 13, A1870.

i IMPROVEMENT m HAND-STAMPS. l

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesama.

These plates. are attached to -the sides of' the die, parallel with theline ot' type, by screws M, the said sides being rebated, to provideshoulders` N to counteract the upward thrust on the cuttcr-plates whenstriking the blow. n

rlhe teeth ofthcse'plates project downward beyond the face of thedie, soas to l'orm guides for the ribbon O,

vpreventing it from working away either side from the type- I propose toarrange the spindles I of the rollers for the ribbon so that they maybeslipped out of' the rollers to let them down l'or removing the ribbonsand applying new ones, and 1 propose to retain the spindies by means ot'nuts Q, screwed onto the ends ot' the spindle-s, or itmay bc by plusdriven transversely through holes in the spindles, washers being placedbehind the said pins.

I propose to make the bed R, on which the-die strikes, of leather orother strong elastic substance, br the protection of the edge ofthecutters, which will make indentations in they will strike successively,while the blow of the die will be sustained by the surface ot' :the bed.

This elastic bed is conlined bya brass or other ring, S, having ailange, T, at the top, turned down upon the upper edge, the said ringheilig secured to the anvil U by screws V or other suitable means.

"W represents the stripper, which consists of' a piece of wire bentdouble and shaped so that, while the endsarc attached to the bed-piece Xat one side ot' the bed R, the other part will project over the latterand-around the 'space which the die occupies when forced down, so thatthe card or ticket stamped/being passed under it whenplaccd on the bedR. will come in contact with it when the die riscs, and be stripped ol.he die may be applied 'either to a vibrating'arm, Y, 0r to averticallyreciprocating piston.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The shoulders and notched plates K N, elastic bed R,flanged ring S T, and anvil U, when all are combined, constructed, andarranged as'and for the purpose described.
